Becoming You with Suzy Welch

YOU'RE FINE. YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE...TRAPPED?
The Becoming You method of purpose-discovery is based on the premise that there’s one wild and precious life that we’re each meant to live. But it also acknowledges that there’s real life out there.
Real life is where we too often cede our hoped-for dreams of purpose and joy to the many seemingly inescapable demands, constraints, obstacles and challenges that come with work and family and well, everything. 
Real life is why so many of us end up living in “The Velvet Coffin,” a term Suzy uses to describe the comfortable accommodation we can make with a life on pause. “It’s OK,” we tell ourselves when that happens. “Sure, I’m making some compromises. Sure, I’m postponing stuff. But this is how it has to be right now.” 
Right now can last a long time, can’t it? 
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Tune into Becoming You this week as Suzy talks about how and why we end up in the Velvet Coffin – sometimes without even noticing it – and best of all, how we can push our way out before it’s too late. (PS: It’s never too late.)

YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY. YOU LOVE YOUR WORK. YOU HATE HOW THAT FEELS.
What happens when two forces, your home life and your work life —both central to your identity—need you with equal urgency at the exact same moment? Well, chaos happens. Or guilt. Or angst. Or sheer, utter exhaustion. Or...all of the above. In this episode, Suzy gets into a heart-to-heart with Jennifer, a woman who finds herself caught in a battle between two of her deepest values: her unwavering commitment to work and her devotion to her family. It’s a struggle Suzy knows all too well—because once upon a time, she was Jennifer. Her battle scars lead her to counsel Jennifer with an answer you may not expect.

WHAT IF YOU HAD A NEW LANGUAGE TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU? NOW YOU DO
It has just 15 words -- simple, clear, and powerful. And the minute you're fluent in it -- which is the exact point of this episode -- suddenly the world starts to make a lot more sense, starting with how you're feeling about life, and what you need to do to make yourself feel that much better, more fulfilled, and more authentic. Essentially -- more you. Listen in, and get ready to transform your world with a new lexicon of values.

IF YOU KNEW SUZY...THE SWAN, THAT IS...
In this week's deeply personal episode of Becoming You, we revisit one of the podcast's most loved stories -- about Suzy's swan named, well, "Suzy" -- and bring it up-to-date with an ending that might surprise you, because it certainly surprised Suzy herself. But don't get the idea that this episode is about bird life (although it is...a little)...it's more about human life, and the universal struggle to shed old identities and embrace the scareforia that leads to the new. In such a way, it is the quintessential Becoming You journey, one into our heart's desires about the lives we lead today...and the ones we must forge to create our tomorrows.
